PAGE TWO EAST CAROLINIAN Watery Reflections-- A Ripple in Pond Scum We receive all manner of propaganda through the mail. Recently we got a pamph- let from the Conservative Party, a national party organized to repeal income tax. We also constantly receive a newsletter from Washington, D. C., called Human Events, a bias view of Democrats by pious Republicans. Since we are considered to be in a Democratic area, we fail to receive a publication by pious Democrats (we read their biased views in the “News and Observer.”) This propaganda does serve to show that there is controversy in the outside world. East Carolina College is a refuge where students may never become accosted by controversies. «The phrase—“still water runs deep” may be true. But it is also a fact that “‘still water” often becomes stag- nate. The recent SGA elections was another in- stance that pginted out the lack of student interest and @articipation. Can this be laid to blame on the nebulousness of summer ses- sion students? Perhaps. Summer school is made up of (1) East Carolina students of low academic rating (probation) trying to get back into regular session—this means their time is spent either on studying so they can build up their quality points or on a continuation of their boozing it up at Dora’s from last quar- ter; (2) students from other colleges trying to gain some effortless quality points—their allegiance is not at East Carolina and they see no need to take part in its activities; (3) graduate students trying to earn their Master’s -—they are concerned with acquiring the; qualities needed to operate successfully on the outside and have no time for petty campus life; (4) teachers trying to renew their certifi- cates—their graduate days are behind them (and they are usually behind the times) and they live on the outside; and (5) students try- ing to graduate early. Admittedly, this is quite a conglomerate to interest in student government and its affairs. But this interest is also lacking in our regular sessions. Whose fault is it? The students? Perhaps. The SGA could do a lot. They could instigate a campaign or student awareness. They could begin with themselves. . During elections candidates could make issues, raise issues, raise lags for rallying around; candidates could make themselves known to their fellow students, instead of their usual mystery-man contest that allows the voter to check their meaningless name out of a list of similar faceless names. A method used in other col- leges to achieve this result is campus political arties. ormulated as to take advantage of the block votes of the various fraternities and sororities and incorporate the potential power of the In- dependents. Sagoo this would present an opportunity for students, independent or de- endent, to take part in elections, in SGA Functions, to take part in East Carolina College. - A start some place has to be made to show the student body the value of speaking their mind. College ought to be the place where the mind is exercised. There are very few stimu- lating class room discussions. There arc very few stimulating elections. Apparently stu- dents are either dull or they don’t know how to speak, or there isn’t enough to speak about East Carolina College has too long been term- ed a mill.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Response To Orr And Film To the Editor: In her letter to the editor in The East Carolinian for May 11, 1961, Miss Betsy Orr concluded that Dr. Poindexter found it “very difficult” to “execute self-control.” After studying the film “Operation Abolition” and its manipulation of both picture and word images, I find the young lady’s preoccupation with control very interesting. Dr. Poindexter, no doubt, was also con- cerned with the word but in ano- ther of its aspects, that of con- trolling the thoughts and senti- ment of the audience through the use of various shades of the truth. The point that prompted Dr. Poindexter’s questions and Mr. Lewis’ answers was the fact that the narrator of the film called a student guilty of an act of which he was later acquitted. This, of course, is a violation of the precept that the accused is innocent until found guilty through due process of law. This violation would seem to be much more deplorable than the indecorous behavior of which Dr. Poindexter has been accused. It is a violation of the conception of a just judiciary system, a system which does not seek to contro! the public’s opinion of a man’s guilt or innocence. Consider the journal- ist’s use of th word alleged. Miss Orr writes. that “Before Mr. Lewis had parted his lips to answer, Dr. Poindexter had rudely inter- rupted to answer his own questions, the way he wanted them-dnswered.” This is incorrect. Dr. Poindexter specifically questioned Mr., Lewis about ohe student and waited for him to answer. Mr: Lewis chose to answer in terms of many students. The rights of an individual were under debate. One individual had been actused of an offense. He had been singled out in the film. Why; then, avoid answering in terms of that indNidual and that offense? Was it because Mr. Lewis did not have the answer which would con- vey the needed impression? Mr. Lewis did “part his.lips” but he did not answer Dr. Poindexter’s ques- tion. I cannot believe that the reflec- tion on Dr. Poindexter and, theo- retically, on East Carolina College is the one that Miss Orr suggests. It seems that Dr. Poindexter’s con- cern for the adherence to the con- stitutional rights of the citizens of this country is enough in itself to prompt both admiration and re spect. Not as an agitator but as a Perpetuator of our freedoms, Dr. Poindexter reflects a very favor- able impression. Miss Orr concludes her note of protest with a very timely and a very meaningful quotation from President Kennedy. She writes that President Kennedy said that “so many Americans accept the right of freedom while they remain ignorant to the responsibility to our nation which goes with free- dom.” It should be rather ironic to anyone who has been associated with Dr. Poindexter, either inside or outside the classroom, that the word ignorant could even be re- motely coupled with his name. Dr. Poindexter’s intellect, his social consciousness, and his preeptive in- sight into man and his problems make that inference ridiculous. No, it appears that Dr. Poindexter is not ignorant of his responsibility to our nation nor to the freedoms that this nation protects. His actions rather reveal his concern with the responsibility of which Mr. Ken- nedy speaks. —Pat Reynolds Willis Upcoming Flicks Touch of Larceny (Paramount) When Royal Naval Comm. Max Easton (James Mason) devises a nifty money making scheme, come- dy is in the making. Through his ingenious method Easton appears to be involved in traitorous do- ings. Easton manages to be seen talking to a suspicious looking Rus- sian (who doesn’t understand a word of English), and then he loses Confidential government data (which he hides behind his office files.)

Alfred Willis “The absurdity of everyday events Cone ceals from you the real suffering caused hy the passions.”-—Barnave. : Words are an interesting illusion. On rainy day note the phrase “it is Taining oy, side.” It appears to be a statement of fact but what is raining outside? The sky? clouds? Can you say, “Clouds are raining out side?” What is the antecendent of “it” are hidden from our fellow man, and he, in turn, is hidden from us, by this thin gos, mer veil of words. If one of us could formu. late our thoughts into concise words that expressed exactly what he thought, the Dro- cess of listening would change the words into the meanings of the listener. So to some extent we are solitary cells confined by our incom. municability. As a case in point, suppose the old saying —“practice what you preach” were turned around into “preach what you practice.” Think of the startling social transformation Even East Carolina College where ‘getting by’ is oy most important produce—Our campus leaders the executives of the Student Gove ment Association, would be spokesmen not for advancement or progressive adaptation to our changing environment but for active inertness, “What we need is not new curriculum but more remedial courses.” “Why should I worry about this ‘lack of student interest’ bit?

But we do have a problem with the seeming immutability of East Carolina. A remedy, perhaps, would be more active verbalizing from the students (of which, apparently, the recent SGA elections showed serious lack). Semantically speaking, if you won’t speak indicates that you can’t speak, and if you can’t speak, you don’t think. And existentially speaking, it doesn’t matter what you thing, if you don’t carry it out in action it is of no consequence.

C. Alcoholic Rehabilitation Program, the work- shop was presented for the eleven- the consecutive year on the campus here. Dr. N. M. Jorgensen, direc- tor of the department of health and Physical education acted as direc- tor. The two-week event was designed especially for teachers and prospec- tive teachers whose responsibili- ties include teaching about alcohol. Sociological, psychological, and Physiological problems arising from the use and misuse of bever- age alcohol were discussed. The approach was objective and con- structive. Students enrolled in the work- shop received, upon completion of requirements, three quarter hours of college credit. In addition to Dr. Jorgensen, lec- turers and seminar leaders included Dr. Norbert L. Kelly, associate di- Tector, and George H. Adams, edu- cational directer, of the N. C. Alco- holic Rehabilitation Program; and other authorities on the study of alcohol and its related problems. Among the topics considered were “Some Aspects in the Causation and Treatment of Alcoholism,” “Social Institutions and Problems of Alco hol,” “Alcoholics Anonymous,” “An Educational Philosophy for Instruc- tion About Alcohol,” and “Organtl- zation of Materials, Procedures, and Techniques for Instruction about Alcohol.” The workshop at East Carolina was one of three to be offered this summer under the sponsorship of colleges in the state and the N. C. Alcoholic Rehabilitation Program. Others took place at North Carolina College, Durham, June 9-21, and at Catawba College, June 12-23.

This sent the dependable freshman sensation, Floyd Wicker, to! the short-stop position. These men came through like real champs aft! the repleeements. It is evident that Larry Crayton was the greatest thing in the tourna- ment without a doubt. But as Larry said in his remarks to the audience | that greeted the team on campus, “There were 13 most valuable players.” | Truer words could not have been spoken by a more modest individual. Here is some proof of Larry’s quote. Starting with catcher Charley Johnson the Buc backstop, caught both games Saturday night with his injury for almost 5 hours of hard playing baseball behind that plate. His hitting and defensive ability was another prime factor in the Buc’s championship win. First baseman Jim Martin carried over his brilliant fielding and hitting into the tournament. Second baseman Spencer Gaylord proved most valuable throughout the season and gave the Buc fans plenty to talk about on his last game homer that easily cleared the 350 left field fence at Sioux City. Probably the individual with the worst luck in tournament play was Glenn Bass. Glenn’s injury had him seated on the bench for almost the entire series. But even on the bench the senior infielder was an inspira- tional figure to Coach Mallory’s gallant crew. There were Major League scouts who had their eyes opened for many outstanding individuals on the respective teams: One of the hottest Prospects in the tournament was EC’s freshman sensation third sacker Floyd Wicker. It was Wicker’s home run and triple in the Omaha University contest that aided the Bues to this win. When speaking of the outfielders’ play of the Pirates, the first name mentioned at the tourney was Cotton Clayton, the powerful hitting right fielder. All Cotton did in two of the Pirate games was smash a grand- slammer that won for the Bucs in one contest, against Winnona, Minne- sota, and drive in 6 runs with 4 hits against Sacramento State in the final game.

Coming back like true champions EC’s amazing, magnificent, and then the Bucs could have received championship laurels earlier. Coach Jim Mallory decided to start his unbeaten righthander Nathan Greene for the clincher. It seemed as if Fate had planned for the Pirate coach to save Greene for the big one. The Monroe native had not pitched a game for over a found a spot in the line-up at tournament time and did a valuable bit of clutch hitting that was highly responsible for several Pirate wins. Captain Wally Cockrell, the strong lefthanded hitting centerfielder, was a hitting star for the Bucs as well as a defensive ace. Reserve catcher Burl Morris did a good job of replacing the injured Charley Johnson. This Concord senior has given everything he has in helping the Pirates out during his four-year stay at ECC. Besides Cray- ton’s brilliant pitching, there were three other valuable hurlers. Coun- try Boykins, a big strong righthander, fanned 15 Omaha hitters in pitch- ing his win; Lacy West proved to be the losing pitcher in the Sacra- mento game Saturday night, but the two-sport star’s big bat really spoke for itself with that 8 for 17. Nathan Greene, the only Buc Pitcher unbeaten besides Boykins, came through with his fifth win after a month’s layoff in the game for kept these men’s courage alive, who fou it was ali over, and who proved to be coaches of the year with his efforts?
